Posted By Keith Jones Dave, The Work at Height Safety Association has a guidance note on inspection for free download from http://www.wahsa.co.uk/c...cat_view/gid,5/Itemid,8/ People inspecting harnesses must be competent to do so. It is unlikely they could be regarded as competent by reading some bullet point advice. Keith Jones heightec

Posted By Davelfc Keith, many thanks for the reply, i probably was not clear enough on my initial posting I should have probably mentioned where I am. I understand the requirement to have competent persons onsite for both instalation and inspection the instalation is not aproblem we have a specialist contractor with the relevant levels of competence. I have previously put in a training program from training needs analysis that I conducted, all of my site and projects managers and foremen are FASET trained. I have also trained all of the operatives to raise their awareness, so they understand defects or poor practices of instalation in the net. This is so that they can inform management if they spot any fall protection issue's, I have found that actually this has worked well as they are looking for areas they previously did not see as an issue, but defects are there to the trained eye. All of these people are FASET certificated. What I was really after was an all encomapssing check list if any one had one, I have already introduced an instalation checksheet that get sigend up to post installation and pre use by installer and manager. I was hoping there was some one out there with a wealth of experience that could add to what I ahve already put in place I feel there is a need for a pre use inspection and ongoing inspections similar to that of scaffold hand over and inspection. Having not been a practical net erector possibly lack a working knowledge in that department. I have observation, having watched these net erecters, they seem to be more at risk at times than the men working above the nets once they are installed, particularly when they are securing the corners to the elevations of steel frame under construction, once they are clipped on they are okay. has any one else noticed this and are there any inustry solutions

Posted By Keith Jones Dave, not sure if you are concerned with nets or harnesses? If harnesses, in addition to the HSE info suggested by DABT above, there is a checklist in BS 8437. Keith
